    Login timeout?

    Does anyone else have an issue with the user ID timing out? I had started a thread this evening and while I was searching for information in another window to complete my post, my login timed out and I had to login again. It was a short time also, less than 15 minutes. Luckily, all the info...

    Daytona test day??

    Is it possible? I heard a rumor that there may be a test day on the Friday prior to the National/ECR weedend on May 3-4. That would absolutely be something new and welcome, since that is the weekend I hope to debut my RX7. A test day would go a long way toward giving me the confidence to...

    I'm giving up racing.....

    to move to Hollywood and take up acting! It's clear that acting makes better race car drivers, so screw the wife and kids, I'm moving to California to start my racing career! Oh it must be great to be so young, conceited and ignorant! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005260/news Muniz: "No...

    Coincidence?

    OK, I'm starting this to gather opinions, not to have this drug down some alternate path as has been done to like discussions in the past. I'll be purposely vague to avoid just that. Sebring '06, I am racing mid pack and come upon a group of cars. Instantly, my eyes start to water and burn...

    Petit LeMans, anyone?

    I'll be travelling north Friday afternoon to attend the Petit LeMans on Saturday. A rather well-connected relative has some VIP passes which gets us free food/beverages all day, and sometimes a chauferred golf cart as well! It's the only way to fly! Anyway, I was wondering which IT.comers...

    Help with water leak...

    OK, last night I finished plumbing the radiator, jacked up left side, filled to top of radiator, jacked up right side and filled to top of filler neck. All is good, right? So as I am on to other (worse) jobs like wiring the tach and shift lite, I notice a small trickle of water running out...

    Pulley questions

    I'd like some opinions as to whether or not you guys feel that the oversize alternator pulley is a must-do? Trying to decide whether to spend the $65 or put it elsewhere. Also, in the same vein, can anyone provide the appx length of the drive belt with and without the alternator pulley. I...

    What's a screwed racer to do?

    As we all debated the lack of ECR sanction at Daytona, it appeared that the region was self-serving in it's position. Well that was reinforced loud and clear at the track yesterday. The schedule was setup to have enduro qualifying (2 groups) on Saturday morning, with the races being the last...

    MyChron 4

    My tach plus 2 EGTs come to a net cost of over $500. My main desire for information is a tach, lap timer, and maybe some temp info. The MyChron 4 used in karting seems to have everything I am after, and maybe a bit more with upgrades. My question: Is there anyone out there who has tried...

    Fuel sender ohms?

    Anyone have the ohm range for the factory sender in the fuel tank of a 86-91 RX7? I'm trying to match the ohm range to an aftermarket fuel level gauge. Thanks in advance.

    Getting probed!

    In shopping for EGT gauges, I am torn between which style probe to use; band-type or screw-in. According to RPW, STREET PERFORMANCE PROBE: (band type) This probe has less shielding than the street probe so it will react to temperature changes quicker but may not last as long. HIGH...

    Engine mods

    Alright, the endurance (taking a long time!) project is moving slowly forward. Here's the deal. I have a motor sitting on the ground waiting for me to pay it some attention. I need the experts to fill up my list of things to do before I attempt to pop this baby into the car. Don't be...

    Sanction numbers

    Since this is 2006 and we will all be renewing race licenses at some point, I thought it might be helpful if we could create some sort of ongoing database in this thread where Southeast drivers could post/find event sanction numbers, since they are now required for license renewal. This is a...

    Need a quality helmet bag......

    I just got my helmet custom painted and I am in need of a good quality helmet/gear bag. A couple of things I am interested in having. 1. Fleece liner in a separate helmet storage compartment. 2. Secondary storage large enough for suit, gloves, shoes (maybe separate storage for them), and...

    Driveshaft balance

    My local driveline specialist says he can balance my driveshaft. However, I asked him how fast they balance them and he said 500 rpm. Huh? He does do a lot of custom driveshafts for hotrods/cruisers/drag guys and says that he should have no problem balancing mine, but I am a tad skeptical...

    2nd Gen prop valve?

    I'm getting ready to plumb my Tilton prop valve for the rear brakes and I was wondering whether or not most of you use or discard the factory prop valve. Getting rid of it would certainly simplify the plumbing aspect of things, but I don't want to throw away a good piece of hardware if I'm...

    CFR Tech: "No scales available" for Oct. Sebring event?

    Just curious. Does that mean that there will be no post race impound, or no weight check at post race impound, or simply no scales available for competitors to use outside of post race impound? I was scanning the supps for the event and this seemed to pop out at me. For those who are unaware...

    Which header for 13B?

    I recently noticed that Mazdaspeed is now selling the SDJ header for the 13B engine. Does anyone have some back-to-back data as to how that header compares with the standard header that has served us so well in the past? For those that don't know the standard header ends in a flange with two...
